Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    In this segment, the speaker discusses the steps completed so far in setting up an organizational structure in a CPOE system. Previously, the sales organization was defined, and sales organization assignments were made to a company code. Two distribution channels and two divisions were also defined and assigned. The next step discussed is setting up a sales area, which requires a combination of the sales organization, distribution channel, and division to process a sales transaction in the SD module.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The setting up of sales areas is continued. Sales areas are created using previously defined sales organizations, distribution channels, and divisions. The process involves navigating the SD transaction to add new sales areas and assigning divisions to entries. The speaker demonstrates creating sales areas by assigning combinations of sales organization, distribution channel, and division, then saving the changes successfully.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    After setting up sales areas, the speaker moves on to defining the sales office. A sales office can represent branches or sales territories. The process of creating a sales office involves entering a sales office key, description, and address details. The speaker provides an example with a sales office in Los Angeles, showing how to input various address fields and saving the information.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    Post defining sales offices, the assignment of sales offices to sales areas is detailed. This involves linking each sales office to appropriate sales areas using their keys. The speaker demonstrates assigning sales offices to sales areas for different combinations of distribution channels and divisions, confirming assignments by saving them into the system.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

    The speaker introduces the concept of a sales group, which organizes sales staff based on sales types or areas, like government contracts. The creation of sales groups involves specifying a group identifier and description. These groups are then assigned to sales offices. The example covers setting up groups and linking them to sales offices, emphasizing the importance of defining sales group hierarchies to ensure systematic operations.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:30:36

    Finally, the setup process extends to defining plants in logistics. A plant is characterized as a logistics entity, such as a production facility or stock location. The steps include creating a plant, defining its key and name, setting address details, and specifying a factory calendar for operations. The plant is then assigned to a company code. Additionally, combinations of sales organizations and distribution channels are assigned to plants to enable sales operations, emphasizing compliance in customization settings for order creation.
